E. ASSEMBLING THE BUTTRESS STRAPS AND PRESSURE PLATES
1. Assemble the buttress straps and brace
a. Place a steel strap and a pressure plate on the
buttress base, 1.14 m (45”) from centre to centre,
so the pressure plate will fit perfectly. Attach
with 3 screws (B38x16x34), but do not secure it
tightly. This will enable you to align them correctly.
(Image 25 & 26)
b. When installing the second pressure plate, it will
overlap from the first pressure plate. Do not forget
to put straps first.

c. Continue to install the remaining steel straps
and pressure plates (one the one side only), as
described in the previous step. Do spot checks to
ensure everything is equal.

d. Once you have finished installing straps and
pressures plates on the one side. Ensure that they
have all been remeasured and that measurements
are perfect and square. Permanently affix the
pressure plates to the buttress bases by inserting
2.22cm (7/8’’) mechanical screws directly into the
welded nuts on the horizontal sleeves.
e. You may now go back to step 2-Digging the
buttress trenches, to continue for the remaining
side of the oval.
